This is a story from the FSF archive – the FSF and SD merged to become the FSA in 2019.
This weekend the final of the 2018 FA Cup between Chelsea and Manchester United will be taking place at Wembley – and once again there will be pub splits in place.
Many of you will be looking for a quick pint along the way and ahead of every major fixture at Wembley local pubs are “split”. It’s important fans know which are “theirs”. The pubs may refuse entry to the “wrong” fans.
Please note the FSF doesn’t play any role in allocating pubs to specific sets of fans, the Met Police share this information and we believe it’s important fans know the lay of the land so they can make the most of their day.
So see below the split in place around Wembley on Saturday 19th May…
East – Chelsea
West – Manchester United:
Plans for this month’s League Cup final have been criticised by supporters of the competing finalists over a lack of “logic or common sense”.
Supporters organisations at Liverpool and Manchester City are calling on the FA to move their semi-final in April from Wembley after learning of rail disruption.
Brentford, QPR and Wolves are the latest clubs to confirm they will have safe standing areas – and more clubs are expected to follow next season as the Government has confirmed that Premier League and Championship clubs can introduce standing during 2022/23.
Fan representatives from the men’s and women’s game met with senior FA officials at Wembley earlier this month to discuss a variety of important issues within football.
